• Cubed Bread (stale sourdough bread or focaccia) • Chopped Garlic • Real Grated Parmesan Cheese • Dried Parsley Flakes
Cut bread into 1 inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Melt the butter in the microwave. Set aside. Add the shredded Parmesan cheese, the minced garlic and the parsley flakes to the bowl.
Pour the melted butter over the bread cubes in the bowl. Toss the ingredients together with a large spoon until the bread cubes are coated on all sides with melted butter and the seasonings and cheese are evenly dispersed.
Spread the bread cubes over a large cookie sheet in a single layer. Bake the croutons for 10-15 minutes at 375°F. Toss the bread cubes with a spatula every 5 minutes so they brown on all sides. Bake until golden brown.
Cool to room temperature before serving. Makes 4 cubes of seasoned croutons. Store the croutons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
